Following the expulsion of the Norse from Dublin in 902, Ingimund led expelled settlers who attempted to establish a colony on Anglesey before Welsh resistance forced them off. Welsh annals and later Irish sources record the Norse landing and being driven from the island. Ingimund then moved his people to the Wirral in Cheshire where a Norse settlement was established. Place-name evidence on the Wirral confirms the Norse presence.
